How the Grinch Stole Google News -- DailyFinance(With our sincere
apologies to Dr. Seuss)

Every Who down in Whoville liked Google a lot,
But the Grinch, who lived up
in a penthouse, did not.
The Grinch hated Google, didn't find
Google pleasin' --
Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason.
It could be his head wasn't screwed on just right.
It could be, perhaps, that his views were too tight.
But I think that the most likely reason of all,
May have been that his heart was two sizes too small.

President Obama's Thanksgiving Day Proclamation.. and Links to the Past

Well... I am posting the President's Thanksgiving Day Proclamation... but as I do so.. I am reminded of past proclamations that were very different. Last year, I spent a several posts on the Thanksgiving Day Proclamations of past presidents... take a moment and read then also. In those past posts we see a true sense of giving thanks to our Creator.. from whom all our individual and national blessings flow. I have posted them below.

President Barack Obama's Thanksgiving Day proclamation, as released by the White House:

What began as a harvest celebration between European settlers and indigenous communities nearly four centuries ago has become our cherished tradition of Thanksgiving. This day's roots are intertwined with those of our nation, and its history traces the American narrative.

Today, we recall President George Washington, who proclaimed our first national day of public thanksgiving to be observed "by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God," and President Abraham Lincoln, who established our annual Thanksgiving Day to help mend a fractured nation in the midst of civil war. We also recognize the contributions of Native Americans, who helped the early colonists survive their first harsh winter and continue to strengthen our nation. From our earliest days of independence, and in times of tragedy and triumph, Americans have come together to celebrate Thanksgiving.

As Americans, we hail from every part of the world. While we observe traditions from every culture, Thanksgiving Day is a unique national tradition we all share. Its spirit binds us together as one people, each of us thankful for our common blessings.

As we gather once again among loved ones, let us also reach out to our neighbors and fellow citizens in need of a helping hand. This is a time for us to renew our bonds with one another, and we can fulfill that commitment by serving our communities and our nation throughout the year. In doing so, we pay tribute to our country's men and women in uniform who set an example of service that inspires us all. Let us be guided by the legacy of those who have fought for the freedoms for which we give thanks, and be worthy heirs to the noble tradition of goodwill shown on this day.

Now, therefore, I, Barack Obama, president of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Thursday, Nov. 26, 2009, as a National Day of Thanksgiving. I encourage all the people of the United States to come together, whether in our homes, places of worship, community centers, or any place where family, friends and neighbors may gather, with gratitude for all we have received in the past year, to express appreciation to those whose lives enrich our own and to share our bounty with others.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 20th day of November, in the year of our Lord 2009, and of the independence of the United States of America the 234th (year).

_ Barack Obama

Modern Little Red Hen Story by Howard Morrison

MODERN LITTLE RED HEN STORY
11/9/09 | Howard Morrison

MODERN LITTLE RED HEN

Once upon a time, there was a little red hen who scratched about the barnyard until she uncovered some grains of wheat. She called her neighbors and said, “If we plant this wheat, we shall have bread to eat. Who will help me plant it?”

“Not I,” said Rahm Emanuel the cow. “Not I,” said Nancy Pelosi the pig. “Not I,” said Harry Reid the goat.

“Then I will,” said the little red hen, and she did. The wheat grew tall and ripened into golden grain. “Who will help me reap my wheat?” said the little red hen.

“Not I,” said Rahm Emanuel the cow. “Out of my classification.” “Not I,” said Nancy Pelosi the pig, “I’d lose my seniority.” “Not I,” said Harry Reid the goat, “I’d lose my unemployment compensation.”

“Then I will,” said the little red hen, and she did.

At last, it came time to bake the bread. “Who will help me bake the bread?” asked the little red hen.

“That would be overtime for me,” said Rahm Emanuel the cow. “Don’t want to work that hard.” “I’m a drop out and never learned how,” said Nancy Pelosi the pig. “If I’m the only helper, that’s discrimination,” said Harry Reid the goat.

“Then I will,” said the little red hen. She baked five loaves and held them up for her neighbors to see. They all wanted some – in fact, they demanded a share! But the little red hen said, “No, these loaves are for me and my chicks!”

“Excess profit!” yelled Rahm Emanuel the cow. “Capitalist leech!” yelled Nancy Pelosi the pig. “I demand equal treatment!” yelled Harry Reid the goat.

Nancy Pelosi, the pig, grunted and they hurriedly painted “unfair – equal treatment under the law” signs and began to picket the barnyard and shout obscenities at the little red hen.

Then Obama, the donkey, came into the barnyard and said to the little red hen, “you must not be greedy. You must spread the loaves around!”

“But I was an entrepreneur, I worked hard and I earned this bread,” said the little red hen.

“Exactly,” said Obama the donkey. “That is the wonderful free-enterprise system…anyone in the barnyard can earn as much as he wants. However, under my imposed barnyard regulations, the productive workers must divide their product with the idle.”

The little red hen’s neighbors wondered why she never again baked bread!
